|Updated:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is recommending that people use the social distancing guidelines with their pets as they would with their family members.
The recommendations came after some animals contracted the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, commonly known as novel coronavirus virus, including lions, tigers, dogs, and house cats. However, there are only a handful of known cases of animals testing positive.
